answer text <p>There is a lack of reliable estimates of the incidence and prevalence of sepsis, due to the inconsistency in the definitions used to describe sepsis, and the differences in coding between professionals and organisations in the United Kingdom.</p><p>The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes data on the number of death registrations where sepsis was the underlying cause of death, and where sepsis was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate, for England and Wales between 2001 and 2023. According to the ONS, in 2023, the number of deaths registered where sepsis was mentioned anywhere on the death certificate in England and Wales was 26,203. The ONS has not yet published the number of death registrations for sepsis for 2024. The published ONS data for deaths involving sepsis is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/adhocs/2111deathsinvolvingsepsisenglandandwales2001to2023" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/adhocs/2111deathsinvolvingsepsisenglandandwales2001to2023</a></p><p>The Department continues to work with NHS England and the UK Health Security Agency to improve our understanding of sepsis data and to monitor trends in infection incidence and deaths from sepsis, which are complex and multifactorial.</p>

answer text <p>Screening for prostate cancer is currently not recommended in the United Kingdom, due to the inaccuracy of the current best test Prostate Specific Antigen.</p><p>A UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) review looking at whether to offer screening for prostate cancer is currently underway. This evidence review will cover modelling the clinical effectiveness and cost of several approaches to prostate cancer screening. This will include different potential ways of screening the whole population and targeted screening aimed at groups of people identified as being at higher-than-average risk, such as Black men or men with a family history of cancer.</p><p>Once the modelling and evidence review is complete, it will be considered by the UK NSC. Subject to no further revisions being required, the UK NSC plans to look at the findings towards the end of 2025.</p><p>Further details of the UK NSC’s evidence review process are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-nsc-evidence-review-process/uk-nsc-evidence-review-process" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-nsc-evidence-review-process/uk-nsc-evidence-review-process</a></p>

answer text <p>The department does not specifically collect data on school days lost due to weather conditions.</p><p> </p><p>From the start of the 2024/25 academic year, it became mandatory for schools to share attendance data with the department. Attendance data can be found at: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/pupil-attendance-in-schools" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/pupil-attendance-in-schools</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Other attendance statistics and past releases are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-pupil-absence" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-pupil-absence</a>. This shows pupil absence statistics from May 2010 onwards and pupil attendance statistics from September 2022.</p><p> </p><p>It is for individual settings and responsible bodies to determine their approach to closure based on their own risk assessment. Closures should be considered a last resort, and the imperative is for settings to remain open where it is safe to do so. Where a school was planning to be open for a session but then has to close unexpectedly, for example due to adverse weather, the attendance register is not taken as usual because there is no session. For statistical purposes this is counted as a ‘not possible’ attendance.</p><p> </p><p>Where settings are temporarily closed, individual settings and responsible bodies should consider providing remote education for the duration of the closure in line with departmental guidance. Providing remote education does not change the imperative to remain open, or to reopen as soon as possible. Pupils who are absent from school and receiving remote education still need to be recorded as absent using the most appropriate absence code. Schools should keep a record of and monitor pupil’s engagement with remote education, but this is not formally tracked in the attendance register. Guidance for schools on providing remote education is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/providing-remote-education-guidance-for-schools/providing-remote-education-guidance-for-schools" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/providing-remote-education-guidance-for-schools/providing-remote-education-guidance-for-schools</a>. Additional guidance for parents on remote education is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/providing-remote-education-information-to-parents-template" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/providing-remote-education-information-to-parents-template</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
